                    [Summary] => Laoag International Airlines (LIA) regrets that Transportation and Communications Secretary Leandro Mendoza has ordered the continued suspension of the airline’s operations despite findings that "human or pilot error" caused one of its aircraft to crash into Manila Bay last Nov. 11.


In a statement, Alvin Manuel Yater, LIA assistant vice president for sales and marketing, said the airline had exercised "extra due diligence" in hiring the pilot and co-pilot of the ill-fated Fokker-27, who were fully qualified as commercial aviation pilots.
